Wii Need A Skin

By seaempty. Saturday, 3. March 2007, 19:39:36

, , , , , , ,

Whilst browsing through Opera's extensive collection of skins that allow you to customize your Opera Browser, I noticed that there was a glaring omission. What the collection is lacking in my opinion, is a Wii-themed skin.

As I would not have the first clue how to start such a feat, I'm throwing it open to the My.Opera Community. Would such a thing be possible, and is there someone out there willing to take up the task?

And what should the skin look like? I think it should have the look and feel of the Wii's dashboard (as pictured above). It's got distinctive colours and curves, and these should be apart of the skin.

As for the buttons, this site has some great images from the official Wii Shop pages. The style would be excellent for the skin.

Is that too vague? Can anybody else makes some suggestions as to how the skin should look? Is this a big ask of the N+ members? Post your thoughts below.

I think it should be more along the lines of a submission where people submit faux screenshots of what they think the Wii skin should look like and have a panel of judges out of the N+ members to select their favorites. That way we can narrow it down to what the skin should look like and then assemble a team to make the thing.

Anyone can make a Wii skin, but maybe we can have an N+ official Wii skin or something.

That makes sense - an excellent suggestion :smile:

I'm just going to clarify something. This skin would be for the desktop version of Opera, am I right? A Wii themed skin for the desktop Opera?

seaempty 4. March 2007, 14:38

Yes, that's right. A Wii-themed skin for the desktop Opera Browser.

I'm just reminding everyone again! This is a Wii themed skin for the Desktop version of Opera, NOT the Wii version!
